John Warnken and teaching English online to schools in Indonesia
John Warnken and teaching English online to schools in Indonesia John Warnken It is amazing the things that can happen when people get connected online. John Warnken (italki profile, facebook profile) was teaching US senior citizens in Arkansas how to use the internet, when he found italki. He found that connecting people through italki and Skype was a popular activity for the seniors he was working with. However, one person John met on italki was Endang Palupi, a school teacher from Pekalongan, Indonesia. She asked John if he would be interested in volunteering to teach some basic English to high school students. John began teaching classes through Skype, and since then, John has become a celebrity in Pekalongan. Hes been featured in the local newspaper, and hes been introduced to the mayor of Pekalongan. He even gave a graduation address (through Skype) to the high school. Hes written up his own story on the Oprah Angels Network. Hes also posted his story in this italki group. John had a chance to be on a Central Java radio station, and he invited me to join him on the show. During the show, the mayor phoned in, as well as the local school superintendent. A number of students also went to the studio to talk on the air with John. Unfortunately, at the moment when I was supposed to introduce myself, and talk about how the internet could be used to help people learn languages I ran into some technical difficulties with Skype. The irony was not lost on me. You can listen this segment of the radio interview here: (I believe I said a number of things, but) Nevertheless, it was inspiring to hear how much this town appreciated Johns help in teaching English through Skype. John also let me know that the station has been receiving hundreds of texts and phone calls since the radio show aired. The station may make a talk with John a weekly program. Here are pictures of the radio show in Pekalongan. If you know of other stories about how you have used italki to help people (or have been helped), please let us know at feedback at italki dot com. If youre interested in helping John with teaching English classes through Skype in other countries, you can contact him through italki (John Warnken) or post on his group discussion. Were excited to see how projects like this develop. Kevin and the italki team
Understanding Chemistry - A Short Description
Understanding Chemistry - A Short DescriptionThe term 'chemistry matter' is a term used in the physics field to refer to the collective behavior of any two types of substances that interact with each other in a chemical manner. This matter is used when describing the basic element of chemistry and it was first used by Isaac Newton in the 1600's. He used the term as a tool to explain his experiments on gases and liquids, which involved the observation of what happens when particles of different sizes collide with each other.The same concept is used today in the study of physical and chemical reactions. The substance that is most often described as 'chemistry matter' is water. Water molecules are very small in size and many of them simply float on top of the water as the liquid floats on the top of the sea. These tiny particles of water molecules are called covalent bonds.A covalent bond is formed between a hydrogen atom and a proton, which are composed of two protons and two neutrons. The bonds that are formed between two atoms of water have a negative charge which holds them together.If you look at a molecule of water and a molecule of air under a microscope, you will see that the covalent bonds are much smaller than the actual molecules. This makes the water molecule look more like a bead in the water while the larger molecules of air look more like tiny balls. The bonds which hold the water molecules together are very weak and it is not possible for a force to be formed between the covalent bonds of water and the covalent bonds of air.It takes a strong force like that created by gravity to break the bonds. The strong force that forms between the water molecules is known as a potential energy and it forms when the water molecules are in motion. When a covalent bond forms between the water molecules, the water and air molecules are allowed to move around freely.The chemistry of water and the air molecules and the water molecules interacting with each other form s the fundamental law of nature. That is why a good understanding of chemistry is essential to any serious student of physics. Most people learn about the law of attraction through a syllabus, which outlines its relationship to physics.Being able to read a textbook is not a good enough answer to a good understanding of a subject such as physics, as we have to be able to comprehend it using nice mathematics. Chemists are trained in mathematics, which helps them to be able to understand more complicated concepts.
